Tests of Father–Child Transmission of Polysubstance (ATM) Use Onset in Adolescence

Child in earlier versus later ATM onset class given	Primary adjusted model b(se)	Controlling for mothers’ ATM use b(se)
Father in EA vs. LA polysubstance use onset class	1.79(.81), p = .028	.89(.88), p = .314
Father in LA polysubstance use class vs. latest predominantly alcohol and tobacco onset class	.67(.91), p = .491	.27(.88), p = .760
Child’s maximum age	.66(.11), p <.001	.70(.13), p < .001
Child is male	1.54(.66), p = .019	1.66(.72), p = .021
Mothers’ adolescent ATM use onset		.81(.35), p = .021

Note: ATM = alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana; EA = early adolescent; LA = late adolescent; Tabled numbers denote b(se) on logit scale.
